WMTW • July 27, 2020

For the first time since 2014, Saddleback ski area is getting ready to welcome skiers this winter. With new owners at the helm, work is well underway for the season. The ski area is undergoing a $38 million upgrade to nearly every facet of the resort’s infrastructure, including an expanded lodge, additional snowmaking and new lifts. "The skiing downhill was always exceptional. The getting up the mountain part was the challenge,” General Manager Andy Shepard said.
